[gradsusr] problem in displaying variables

[Ricardo Hallak]

Hi People (Jeff, Saulo, T., others),

T., please, could you check your .ctl file for the dset line?
In the q file command, the output for the line:

binary: E:/blablabla

should be the name of the binary file (that is, the grib 1 file: fnl_20081112_18_00_c), not the .idx name file.

The .idx has to be created with the gribmap command, outside the GrADS and before running GrADS:

gribmap -i filename.ctl
 
This command will CREATE an index file. The name of this index file is set in your .ctl file, as follow in the example below:

dset fnl_20081112_18_00_c
index anyname.idx
title Test
etc ...

After getting this anyname.idx index file, you can open the .ctl file in GrADS and dysplay any variable.

T., how did you get your .ctl file for this  FNL grib file?

Ricardo
